ROBERT MEDICATION
This tape is a bangin' call to arms for the new post-Marx left. Instead of decrying the problems they identify, Brzo & C$ offer concrete solutions via rugged beats and a razor-sharp grasp of theory through gruff poetics.
The accompanying 'manual' drives the lyrics' pointed critiques home through a pastiche of agitprop, mil-spec detournement, USSR ephemera, type experiments & further reading.
Favorite track: Red Lanterns.

Dallas-by-way-of-New-England post-rap mainstay BRZOWSKI and lifelong Maine musician/producer C$BURNS have sculpted a collaborative relationship reaching back to 2012. An indie stalwart with many noteworthy credits under his belt, BRZOWSKI has not slowed his pace of peculiar catalog pieces in the space between solo offerings, while C$BURNS had made a name behind the screen as a vaporwave and outré hiphop producer. The lush yet spaciously constructed production provided by C$BURNS here is juxtaposed heavily against their last last fully-collaborative project, Vinyl Cape - The Glitter of Putrescence (MilledPavement, 2016) which was a decidedly art-metal skewing affair. These sonic fusions of live instrumentation, forged artifacts and degraded source-material provide an arena for BRZOWSKI to unpack his penchant for dour verbosity, with both collaborators largely eschewing popular song-structure, and further mutating the hiphop music they employ as a launching point. Having collaborated on over a dozen releases, and touring heavily together, this bizarre mongrel of an album truly sounds like an effortless execution.
The lyrical content of this politically-charged album platforms from the production palette, and notably absent any cheap sloganeering or preachy tone. The lyrics in turn illustrate and obscure intent under layers of densely-woven ballistics-grade poetry, the likes of which have garnered BRZOWSKI extensive critical praise over the past decade.
Societal collapse is a well-worn subject for this duo, as recently evinced on BRZOWSKI’s Blooddrive Vol. 4 (MilledPavement, 2019), C$BURNS’ NO HUMANS NO WAR (I Had an Accident, 2018), and the past releases of the aforementioned Vinyl Cape “band” project. The physical cassette release will be limited to 150 initial copies, with 100 copies packaged with a 30 page book containing lyrics, manipulated propagandist imagery, full credits, and a recommended reading list of the books and articles that influenced the creation of this album. While embracing and espousing heavy doses of Marxism/Leninism, Anarchist philosophy, and Situationist tactics, this hermetic and dense project not only examines the West and the U.S.A. as “Failed States”, but for the first time in their respective careers, criticism is coupled with a heretofore absent element: Possible Solutions.
BRZOWSKI is a touring post-rap artist hailing from the icy wastes of New England. This road-worn vocalist has been regarded
as a standard-bearer for avant-hiphop since his 1st release in 2001. Always prescient, often verbose, never for the faint-of-heart....more

Sometimes you come across an artist that is compelled to do what they do.
I appreciate the musicality and the arrangement and the artistry of the songs. He sings and plays like his life depends on it. I appreciate the humanity of the lyrics… Like reading Tortilla Flats, or watching Nobody’s Fool.
Ceschi is a bright star. I’m glad he’s loose in the world. oldtruck
